We in Zimbabwe know a thing or two about running on cash only. Been doing it for almost a decade.

- Waterluvian 9y agoThat's wild to think about from my perspective. I haven't touched physical currency in years in Canada. I'm sure you get by just fine but it's an interesting thought. I kind of miss cash.
- techrich 9y agoOnce all the cash is gone, they can just turn your card off!
- uiri 9y agoI've never found a retailer in Canada who didn't take cash. The only exceptions would be buying stuff online which is Amazon and travel (flights, hotels, etc). Prepaid cell phones can be topped up by buying a code at a Shoppers for cash. Even your hydro bill will take a money order if you have cash but no bank account.
- 21 9y agoWhat's stopping you? I'm in UK, I have cards, but I try to use cash as much as possible. Having said that, almost every time I pay more than 20 in cash, the seller gives me the eye, puts the money under a UV light, and I feel like some sort of a criminal.
- KGIII 9y agoWhen they do that, I say, 'Don't look too closely, I just printed that up this morning.' Only once has it resulted in them calling a manager over. Every other time, it gets strange looks, a chuckle, a smile of mirth, or a groan. Either way, it's something unusual for them to hear in what is likely a repetitive job.
- fringle 9y ago> it's something unusual for them to hear in what is likely a repetitive job I assure you that quip is not unusual in the least, just another repetitive part of the job.
- KGIII 9y agoNo? Heh... I sort of wish I'd had a public facing job at some time in my life. I feel as though I missed out on a lot of experiences and chances to learn more about people. I am assuming there's some good with the bad.
- epochwolf 9y agoPlease don’t do that. People make that joke all the time. It’s not funny and we have to pretend to find it amusing or we get written up.

- toephu2 9y agoYou are the credit card companies' ideal consumer.
